I have a scenario where a column says "Cell data size exceeds limit (8kb). I am returning some JSON in this cell. Is there any workarounds or solutions as I need to get the full data.

    The character limit for a cell in Clay is 8000 characters. To work around this issue, you can try the following: 1. Optimize your JSON: • Remove unnecessary whitespace • Use shorter key names • Minimize nested structures 2. Split the data: • Divide the JSON into smaller chunks • Store these chunks in separate cells or columns 3. Use compression techniques: • Implement a simple compression algorithm before storing • Decompress when retrieving the data To help troubleshoot further, could you please copy and paste the JSON you're trying to store into the chat? This will allow us to provide more specific advice on optimizing your data structure.

    Can you provide specifics on option 2 and option 3?
